Mocja—

I see that I have two texexecs in my Minimals now:

one in

ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin

the other in

ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin

Which one is the right one?

The second one.

I should add that when my .bash_profile has

. /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex

/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/

I cannot compile any file because of the mismatch between format and base

files.

This is because you need to regenerate the formats (texexec --make
--all). Please send the log if this fails to help.

If I change my .bash_profile to

. /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex

/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin

as suggested in

No, that's not been suggested. You may not use the second argument
that way. If you read carefully again you'll see that there are **two
different recipes**. You need to use just one of them.

When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree by typing:

[first recipe]

 . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex

in your shell or add

[second recipe]

 "/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin"

to PATH variable if you want to set it permanently.

This can usually be done in .bashrc, .bash_profile

(or whatever file is used to initialize your shell).

I get the error message

The argument "/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin" is not a

valid TEXROOT path.

(There is no file

"/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex")

Yes, that makes sense. Since
/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin is NOT the root of
distribution. That's just the PATH to your binaries.

Just go with the first approach (the one that reports mismatching
formats at the moment), run
   texexec --make --all
and send the log if it fails to work.
